Artificial Mask Sporrans

[Highland Logan]

I'm a fan of mask sporrans and have a couple. That said, I'm afraid that in all likelihood, you'd end up with something ugly or silly. If it turns out looking realistic, the PETA types will likely be upset at the sight of it, and if not, it's likely to look either cartoonish or ghastly.

I suspect you'd be better off saving the money for a sporran of some type that you'd get some wear from.

I'll be curious to see how this turns out, if you pursue it.

Cheers,

Seconded. Take a look at Kate MacPherson sporrans. She does traditional European badger full masks. All are killed non-hunting, ie., road kill, etc.

I have 2 full-mask sporrans; L&M Highland Outfitters, North American badger and musquash (muskrat). They are a product of the fur trade, which I have no issue supporting. Regardless to what many environmentalists will admit to, the fur trade is very important, as many of the animals hunted, would throw the balance of nature off, if population numbers were not controlled. So not guilt free for everyone, but fact and backed by much science, research and evidence.

The full-mask sporran can in theory take you from t-shirt to white tie. It is considered the most versatile sporran you can own. I don't believe a muppet on a chain will look good, but a poorly made full-mask can look just as bad.

Best of luck in your 'hunt'.
